Here WYO 310 turns east toward Wheatland and travels now due east for almost 4 miles before reaching 16th Street, the former routing of US 87 through Wheatland, where it turns south onto 16th Street.

History

The length of Highway 310 between its southern terminus and Oak Street in Wheatland was the former routing of US Route 87 prior to its relocation onto Interstate 25. Prior to this, WYO 310 used to end at the intersection of Oak Street and 16th Street, but was later extended south another third of a miles to its current terminus.
